Solution: Take front brakes off, you already have huge rear brakes. Your front wheels will look amazing. Your bumper on the other hand may end up in the rear seat of the car in front of you but whatever right?

Let's not be crazy here. Leave the hand brake. If you REALLY need to brake, i suggest small boat anchor, you know, for weight savings.

With proven street performance pads like the Akebono, Porterfield R4S, Stoptech Sport, and such you should have equal if not better than OEM performance with less dust.

Looking for Ceramic Pads for the rear of M2 CS

I have found front pads fine, but rear pads (2NH) are harder to find. They are the 4 piston. Are they branded as front pads for other cars?

I purchased Akebono pads and love them. I wrote a recent review here: Akebono Brake Pad Review https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1886659

Rear 2NH can use Audi R8 2007+ 1155 shape rear pads, but need to swap over the wraparound shims from the stock pads to avoid clunking noise.
